Astragalus incanus
Care Guide
💧 Water
☀️ Light Full sun
Gallicos is a sun-loving, perennial, herbaceous plant that comes from open habitats and is frequently found in meadows and grasslands. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun conditions.
🌡️ Temperature 5–35°C
Gallicos can adapt to a broad range of temperatures, but its distribution may still be limited by different combinations of water and heat. It does best in warm summers with sufficient rainfall or watering. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather or prolonged high temperatures can increase the likelihood of Gallicos dying. In winter, protecting it from cold can improve the plant's chances of survival.

🌱 Fertilizer
One fertilizer application in spring is generally adequate for Gallicos, though repeated feedings can maximize growth. Apply every one to one and a half months. Fertilizing improves leaf appearance and function, helping maintain an even color and healthy texture. It also encourages root development and nutrient uptake for long-term plant health.
